Why Roofs Leak

Roofing materials are susceptible to wear and tear, and that’s when roofs become vulnerable to water leaks. Extreme changes in temperatures and weather conditions are contributing factors for roofing materials to become fragile and crack over time. Direct sunlight can melt the tar that holds the shingles in place. Elements like rain and wind can corrode the tar overtime.

Broken ShinglesShingles are the exterior layer of a roof, and it is crucial that they are always in place. Missing shingles will cause water to leak. Shingles may come apart and fall off the roof after a heavy storm.

Accumulation of DebrisAn accumulation of debris allows water to be trapped against the roof, causing leaks. The most common accumulation of debris includes: Leaves, pine needles, twigs, etc. Water has to be able to run off quickly, and that is why it is important to keep the roof clear of debris.

Cracked Roof VentsCracks, or any sort of penetration through the roof should be fixed as soon as possible, so as to prevent leaks. It is important to inspect the gaskets around the vent pipes for any cracks or gaps and check for missing nails. Harsh weather conditions may cause plastic vents to give way.

Cracked Flashing & SealantOver time, the flashing and sealant around the walls, chimneys and windows can be warped and eroded. With a broken seal around these areas can allow for water to enter the home.

Ice Dam BuildupHeat from the house will cause snow to melt and seep down through to the gutters where it refreezes in to a buildup of ice. The weight of the ice can pull the gutter and drip edge away from the roof and allowing water to seep in.

Remove Old Roofing Materials

Ice and Water ShieldIce and Water Shield is made of a rubberized asphalt with an adhesive backing. This shielding is applied to the wood sheathing of a roof before the asphalt shingles are installed. Ice and water shield protects the roof from water penetration causing decay and rot.

Solar Seal SealantHigh performance sealant that provides exceptional weather resistance, adhesion and color face resistance, causing decay and rot. Available in 100’s of colors.

Drip EdgeDrip edge is a formed sheet metal that extends about 1½ inch away from fascia between the roof and the gutters. The drop edge protects the edge of the roof by leading water directly in to the gutters.

Flashing & Counter FlashingStrips of sheet metal are applied and sealed to the areas where the brick meets the roof. The flashing primary function is to make a clean seal between the gap of the brick and the roof. Secondly, this will serve as an aesthetic accent to compliment the roof.
